I hope that you all enjoy the Thanksgiving break. As always, it's been a busy time in Falcon Land. I'm thankful for the many efforts of our dedicated staff members along with our wonderful students.
If you haven't signed up for a parent conference, it's not too late. Please contact the school on Monday, and we can get you into a conference slot. Thank you very much for your communication and suggestions; they are always welcome.
Tim Houseknecht, Principal
This month's focus:
Tech Programs Going Strong
Students in our Auto Systems class are taught by John Gilfus. Mr. Gilfus has a 2 period (75 minute) class every day for juniors and seniors. If your student is interested in a career with unlimited job opportunities, look into Auto Systems.
John Barkee's classes focus on skills that students need for careers in many types of jobs. From wood working to computer assisted drafting, Mr. Barkee's classes are devoted to teaching skills that students will use in the workplace.
We are lucky at South Seneca to have a fully functioning tech department. Students should take advantage of these courses. For more info, please contact our Guidance department.

United Way
I recently joined the Board of Directors for the United Way Seneca County. I believe it's important that the organization should have a representative or two from the southern part of the county. Please check their website at www.uwseneca.org.
The United Way supports many great programs in our area. If you'd like to help support the campaign, feel free to contact me or check their site. Thanks.
Have a great Thanksgiving!
